MicroVision Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results

REDMOND, WA / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2023 / MicroVision, Inc. (NASDAQ:MVIS), a leader in MEMS-based solid-state automotive lidar and ADAS solutions, today announced its fourth quarter and full year 2022 results.

"2022 was a transformational year for MicroVision. We announced the joining of forces with Ibeo Automotive which closed in January 2023 and uniquely positions us in the market." said Sumit Sharma, MicroVision's Chief Executive Officer. "Our expanded product portfolio now includes the dynamic view MEMS-based scanning lidar for long-range highway pilot, flash-based short-range lidar for automotive and non-automotive applications, and a validation software suite for OEMs and Tier 1s."

Buoyed by actions taken in the fourth quarter, the Company is now the only lidar company in the market able to offer hardware and software solutions ready to deliver to the ADAS market; sensors for non-automotive markets including industrial, robotics, and smart infrastructure; and a software suite for automotive customers in their ADAS validation work.

"MicroVision continues to strategically deploy capital, emerging as one of the strongest lidar companies on the market," continued Sharma. "I am pleased with how quickly our engineering teams from the U.S. and Germany came together to integrate MAVIN TM DR with mature perception software. This early demonstration of synergies, combining MAVIN with perception, advances our positioning in existing RFIs and RFQs as well as others that are expected this year and beyond from several OEMs across the globe. We expect to accelerate our 2023 revenue in the range of $10-15 million from our expanded product suite. Our very competitive cost structure combined with our superior design and technology positions us well relative to our peers."

Key Financial Highlights for Q4 and Full Year 2022

Non-GAAP information

To supplement MicroVision's condensed financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company presents investors with the non-GAAP financial measure "adjusted EBITDA." Adjusted EBITDA consists of GAAP net income (loss) excluding the impact of the following: interest income and interest expense; income tax expense; depreciation and amortization; and share-based compensation.

MicroVision believes that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides important supplemental information to management and investors regarding financial and business trends, provides consistency and comparability with MicroVision's past financial reports, and facilitates comparisons with other companies in the Company's industry, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results. Internally, management uses this non-GAAP measure when evaluating operating performance because the exclusion of the items described above provides an additional useful measure of the Company's operating results and facilitates comparisons of the Company's core operating performance against prior periods and its business objectives. Externally, the Company believes that adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in their assessment of MicroVision's operating performance and the valuation of the Company.

Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, and should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of MicroVision's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from its non-GAAP financial measure should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. The Company compensates for limitations of the measure by prominently disclosing GAAP net income (loss), which the Company believes is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and providing investors with a reconciliation from GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA.

MicroVision has included a reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted EBITDA for the relevant periods.
